18 Months Old!

My mom took that picture of The Boy, surrounded by his beloved trucks.

He is 18 months old today! What a big kid. I can't believe he's got a year and a half under his belt. Of course, being his parents, we think he is crazy cute and smart and athletic. He has gotten a little more loving lately and will give me a kiss sometimes (!), rather than just allowing me to give him one. Right now, the activity that thrills him the most is to be literally thrown across the room by his daddy (don't worry, he lands on the very soft couch). He generally loves roughhousing. His love for trucks is unabated at this time--nothing quite comes close, except for Dada. He does love that Dada.

The teething is definitely a struggle, and we are just now entering the phase in life when he is starting to need to learn to share. But other than that, he is a pretty easy toddler at this point.

He's our boy! Happy one-and-a-half year birthday, kiddo!
